LONDON, Jan. 15. (AP)
Prime Minister MacDonald out
lined today to journalists of all
nations the program that Great
Britain will pursue during the
coming weeks of the naval con
ference. Speaking -with the full
authority of the government he
beads, Mr. MacDonald gravely de
clared that failure of the confer
ence would mean the world would
have to face ten or twenty years
of competitive building of fleets.
He Is not outstandingly en
thusiastic about the prospects for
the conference, but he is confident
a treaty that will be immediately
effective in reducing navies to the
lowest level commensurate with
national security will result from
It.
He expressed the belief that
without sacrificing the national
' security of any country the tran
quility of nations can be increased
and international treaties already
arrived at can be strengthened by
an agreement In London that will
put the world on what he calls
"the high-road to disarmament."
Offensive Armaments
Mnde Special Target
The equilibrium of armaments
he aims at will provide naval forc
ea effective for defense but inef
fective for offense. He affirmed
that Britain sees her conference
policy on the assumption that mil
itary forces should bear a direct
relation to the immediate risk of
war. The covenant of the League
of Nations. the Washington
treaties, the Locarno pact, the Op
tional clause of the world court
statutes, and the pact of Paris, In
their cumulative effect should
make possible immediate and
definite steps toward world dis
crmament. He declared the battleship- to
be of doubtful value and said that
in due time Great Britain would
abolish it by international agree
ment. The cruiser problem was
related largely to the distribution
of tonnage In different categories.
Destroyers depended ou the rela
tion of the other units to subma
rines, the abolition of which
Great Britain favored.
Longer Life for
Battleships Proposed
Meanwhile. Mr. MacDonald said,
the British desired to extend the
life of battleships, which would

EUILTY 6Y JURORS
After more than four hours de
liberation, a jury in circuit court
Friday afternoon returned a ver
dict of guilty in the case of State
vs. Hiram W. Canfield. Along
with the verdict of guilty was the
recommendation for leniency.
Canfield Is 69 years of age and
was accused by five little girls
ranging m the ages of 11 to 17
of doing an act tending to con
tribute to the delinquency of one
of them.
The aged Broadacres tancher
admitted giving money and other
articles of value to the girls but
denied doing' the act of which he
is accused. Canfield lived alone
in a small house on his ranch near
Whiskey Corners in the Broad
acres section and It was there
that the act was supposed to have
been committed.
The Jury went out about 11
o'clock Wednesday and did not
turn its verdict until after 6 p.
m. It took a day and one half for
the trial.
